Why do you think it is wrong?   The deduction is subject to a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) phaseout.  It begins phasing out for taxpayers with MAGI over $100,000 (single filers) or $200,000 (married couples filing jointly) and is completely phased out at $150,000 and $250,000 respectively.   You can look at Schedule 1-A Part IV to see if your deduction was limited.  What is the vehicle loan interest deduction?

Thank you Dawn I was missing the $200 per $1,000 detail which I found after I searched deeper elsewhere.
